A/N: Sorry for the long update but I was hesitating between two way to continue the story so... Sorry! Now, let's go back to the story and please R&R!

It was finish, the case was close, but Lilly couldn't forget about it, in her mind the case wasn't close yet. She was lying next to Scotty, her head lying on his chest, but all she could think of was Kathleen.

"Lil? Are you okay?" Scotty asked her, concerned, and looking at her, but her eyes were looking through the window, deep in thoughts. She was too quiet and haven't said a word since they arrived at her house. He knew that something was on her mind and wanted to comfort her but she was still hiding her emotions behind her coldness or her silences.

"Yeah, sure... I'm alright..." She replied, trying to sound happy, not daring to look at him and see his concerned face looking back at her.

"Lilly... I know that something is bothering you..." Scotty said, playing with her hair, sounding sad. She didn't want to tell him what was bothering her and that was killing him inside. "Please, just let me help you..." He added.

Lilly finally looked up, sat back on the couch and sighed. "I'm sorry... it's just that I can't say that like that..." She replied in a low voice, looking at her hands.

Scotty took her head in his hands and looked in her eyes. "Lilly I hate to see you like that, it's killing me. Just let me be here for you!" He said, still looking her in the eyes, with a honest voice.

Lilly looked back at him and saw the worries in his eyes. "It's just that... She's like me... Always trying to sound happy like nothing was wrong..." She sighed, with a faltering voice, still hesitating to tell him everything. She knew she should tell him everything, that he would be here for her, but she couldn't help feeling this sensation of reluctances.

She felt her eyes burning as the tears started to come to her eyes, but she fought against them. 'Lilly, you're not a baby, you can't cry now, particularly in front of him.' Her mind told her. She quickly wiped her tears away, but not enough as Scotty saw her tears.

He hated to see her tears, it was hurting him too. This beautiful face crossed by those tears, that made her so fragile. He passed his fingers under her eyes to wiped her tears.

"I'm fed up of being the strong Lilly..." She said, ironically, tears still coming from her eyes which she couldn't control anymore. "Of trying to make the other think that everything is alright..." She continued, trying to fight against the tears.

"Hey, Lilly... Eveything is alright... You don't have to look like that, just be yourself..." He murmured, taking her in his arms and tried to comfort her. "Shhh, everything is alright... I'm here okay?" He whispered.

She nodded, still hugging him, and let her head lay on his chest. She knew that she hadn't to prove everybody that she was strong, that everything was alright. What she wanted was to be with Scotty and nothing will be like before. Everything will be great.

After some minutes she finally fell asleep on him. He looked at her and a smile appeared on his lips. She looked so peaceful now, nothing was bothering her and hurting her. He kissed her forehead and closed his eyes, falling asleep too.

The next morning, Lilly opened the eyes. The sun was blinding her but she felt comfortable as she saw Scotty's arms wrapped around her. She looked up to see him sleeping, and hearing his slow breath. She smiled and stayed there looking at Scotty. His arms protecting her, like if they were in their world, apart from the others. She couldn't take her eyes out of him, he was very handsome and that was an other reason which made her eyes attracted.

Then he blinked and slowly opened the eyes, founding a smiling Lilly looking at him. "Hey you..." She whispered, grinning.

"Hey..." He said, smiling. He was glad to see that beautiful smile reappearing on her face. He wanted to make her smile all the time, he didn't want it to disappear. "Feeling better?" He asked her, even if he knew the answer.

"Yep..." She replied happily. She then gave him a peck and continued to look at him with her marvelous eyes. He released her and she got up. She turned towards him, took his hands and help him getting up.

"You should take a shower now, or we're gonna be late. Or you won't have your surprise!" Scotty said, grinning.

"What's this surprise?" Lilly said with a hint of curiousity.

"Haha, I won't tell you. So now, go to the bathroom! Come on." He said pushing her towards one of the door.

She sighed in defeat, entered into it and closed the door behind her. Scotty smiled as he looked at her entering in the bathroom and then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she smelt the good smell of food that led her towards the kitchen. She entered into it and found Scotty putting down a plate of food on the table. "Ah just in time!" He exclaimed pushing towards her the plate as he saw her coming.

"Mmmmh, that smell good..." She said taking a sit and looking at the food. "Thank you..." She added as she started eating.

Half an hour later, they were completely dressed, and ready to go. "So, will you tell me what is it?" Lilly asked him, persisting while they got out of the house.

Scotty shook his head with a malicious smile. "A secret is a secret, I won't tell you anything..." He said and he started digging into his pocket, as if he was searching something.

"Damn... I forgot something in my appartment..." He said, raising his head to look at her. "Go ahead, I'm just gonna take something at my apartment and I'm coming." He continued while taking his keys out of his pocket.

"Okay, see you later!" Lilly replied and started walking towards her car but Scotty grabbed her arm.

"Don't you forget something?" He said to her, with a smile.

Lilly rolled her eyes and kissed him. "Happy now?" She asked with a grin.

"Yep!" He replied while walking towards his car too.

He got into it, and started driving. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and all he could think of was Lilly. He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear the music coming from a car, which was driving a little bit too fast.

He turned his head and saw the car coming and heard the sound of a car braking.

And then everything went dark.
